I hope you can learn to accept who you are and that you're different. Not inferior, not broken, just different. We are all different in our own way. You found your way and I'm sure you do a good job. I'm glad someone finally found out what you nee...

You are normal. Normal for you. Just like everyone else is normal for them. ADD just means that you learn in a different way. Some people learn just by listening, others reading, and others by hands on. And some people need all three. OR have to...

In my career I've seen a lot of people move up and try to work in the same unit. It usually doesn't work. The only place where I saw it work really well was in Hawaii, where you cannot even go to nursing school until you have worked as a CNA for a ...

You did more than just hand over keys and leave. Have they been giving you a hard time about anything else? Are you one of the higher paid nurses there? Sometimes employers look for reasons to get rid of someone. I hope you fought for unemployment. G...

I'm an experienced nurse and I feel you did the right things. Just make sure you document every little thing and you will be ok. That other nurse was out of line. Sounds like she just didn't want a shift that was gonna start out with issues and too...

That was really nice. True appreciation.

To plant or eat?

The no gifts of appreciation sucks. There was a time we all got an extra check for a percentage of our annual income and a really nice dinner. They could at least give everyone a chance to pick whatever day they want to take off as a paid mental he...

To Violet: I'm glad it worked for you, especially when nothing else did. I hope you have a full and lasting recovery. You are a great example of why we need medical marijuana to be available.

"I promise you, it's only a little catheter", said his wife, the nurse.

Thanks for the apology and that was a bad site. I don't know about a virus but it was just some stupid tabloid thing. No problems. My bad.

As a Certified Legal Nurse Consultant and paralegal degreed I am well aware of how to research for valid documentation. I did admittedly grab some things I found in a hurry as something to add to the discussion without validating the material. The ...

Thanks MunoRN. I didn't know at the time that Huzlers is unrealiable. I usually check my sources before I ever post them and was in a hurry. The other sources are legit.

The doctor has to call it in order for the nurses to stop. No relative or friend can stop a code unless they are the legal responsible party in writing. It is very simple.

These are just a few sources: Page not found | Huzlers Marijuana Overdose – Signs Of Marijuana Overdose – Treating Marijuana Overdose Marijuana Overdose Through Pot Edibles A Cause For Concern, Says CDC http://www.projectknows.com/research/marij...

These are just some sources of Marijuana overdose and problems. There is a lot of information out there to read and sort through. Like anything else, some questionable, some legit. If you want sources for the differences in ETOH and marijuana, the...

Well informed post. Thanks for the link. I had looked up overdosing and such on pot and found quite a bit a while back. Have a relative who has used for 40 years and didn't believe me till I showed him all the stuff I found, including what you post...

If you do some research you will find that it is possible to OD on marijuana and that people have died from it. So your statement you are giving patients in ER is incorrect. I believe in medical marijuana, not recreational. And no, comparing it to...

Some docs are just jerks. And so are some patients. But as a nurse, you grow a tough skin and do your job and know you are doing the right thing. Be professional and if this doc continues this kind of crap, report him to your superiors as being un...

I do believe it should be available strictly by prescription for those with health problems that it truly helps. Cocaine is an anesthetic and is used frequently. I had it for a surgery. But I was on a heart monitor and they needed to use it to num...

That is because it is a weird crowd who believes this stuff. The rest of us following are just trying to figure out how to get people to believe in the benefits of vaccines. It is sad that people are so desperate to find reasons to blame for their ...
